student(deprecated)/intercept - Maple Help

student

 intercept
 compute the points of intersection of two curves

 Calling Sequence intercept(eqn1) intercept(eqn1, eqn2, {x, y})

Parameters

 eqn[1], eqn[2] - bivariate equations (for example, $y={x}^{2}+3$) x, y - (optional) the coordinate variables

Description

 • Important: The student package has been deprecated. Use the superseding package Student instead.
 • Compute the points corresponding to the intersection of the two curves defined by eqn1 and eqn2.
 • If only one equation is given, the y-intercept (the intercept with $x=0$) is returned. In this case, the dependent variable should appear alone on the left-hand side of the given equation as in $y=3x+5$.
 • An optional third argument may be used to indicate the set of coordinate variables.
 • The command with(student,intercept) allows the use of the abbreviated form of this command.
